If loving Harry Potter is wrong, I don't want to be right.

YES! You're here and you're loving it and that just ROCKS. So glad you finished ATE. We must, must discuss.

::hugs:: Miss you!

I love it, so much. And we really do need to discuss ATE, although I feel like I need to reread it. There's just so much in it and I know most of it didn't really sink in. That's what I get for trying to read it when so much else was going on.

BTW - now that I'm done, what was the line? *g*

"Hufflepuffs out first." The voice was Blaise Zabini's and he was on her left. At Ron's back. "Ravenclaws in a line behind them. Teachers next. And then the Gryffindors - Potter last."

This probably wasn't the line you were thinking of, was it? It's a throw-away line to most, but for some reason, after reading this line, I actually had to walk away from my computer and regroup. To me, it's an incredibly powerful line. Blaise Zabini, practically a *child*, is giving instruction on how these people are going to be killed, really. And the fact that the teachers are feared less than the Gryffindors? I was completely amazed.

And then. The very part of the last sentence is amazing to me. Two words -- Potter last -- hit me hard. This kid who was thrown in this world and asked to carry the entire weight of it, still scares the most powerful evil force in the world. It's amazing to me. And it's damn good writing.

I could go on and on about this fic and HP canon.
